It's technically a Chevy so it's titled as a Chevy. Still has the Chevy airbag and Chevy infotainment startup. As much as the exterior badging cost, I found it a little too much to pay over $300 for the airbag and even more for the Holden splash screen. If I remember correctly, you have to title it based on the VIN, and the VIN shows it to be a Chevy. |

Was offered $43,000 as a trade-in for the SS. I'm a bit on the fence on that amount. I'd almost prefer to sell it to another enthusiast, especially as I would hope that they would take care of it like I did. Oh well. We'll see.

Well, the saga began December 8th, 2021 and almost the 8 weeks that my salesman promised (7 weeks 5 days to be precise) I have finally taken delivery. Sad to see the SS Sedan go, it was a great drive and GM should've found a way to continue the product with a little more style, but it was a great sleeper.
Still getting used to the Camaro, as it sits quite a bit different than the SS Sedan. The SS was more of a La-Z-Boy where the Camaro is more of a space shuttle seat. I haven't wound her up yet as she only had 4 miles when I took delivery. Still getting back my "clutch legs". The dealer also added tint, which I wasn't wanting, and did the "Nitrogen" bs, but I still made out ok. Video editor is processing my video, but here are some pics. Oh and funny thing in the morning, I've been watching my Camaro on Cars.com to see if the dealership had taken pictures. This morning I get a notification from the Cars.com app that says "Is this your new Camaro?" (their attempt at marketing). I thought it was funny. Wish I could respond to the notification with a "Hell yes it's my new Camaro!" Last edited by TXCSSU; 02-11-2022 at 06:44 PM. |

Here are a few drone shots. Apologies in advance as I was tired by this point, but wanted some video for the occasion. I'm really glad I opted against the sunroof as I love the lines on the roof.

I called and was hoping you had a 500 FICO score. It’s encouraging that it only took a couple of months. Now I’ll have to sell my SS. It shouldn’t be too hard.

I actually pissed off the finance guy. I told him that I was looking for 0% APR and told him that I was ok with the extended warranty and the extended maintenance agreement. He was initially beaming and when he came back to me with something other than 0% I told him that I'll just pay cash for the balance but that I'll need him to take off the extra stuff. Also, what irritated me was that when he was trying to "crunch" the numbers, he pretended as if he was practically giving me the extended maintenance and warranty for free when I asked him if he took into account my $1000 deposit. Something tells me that if I hadn't brought up my deposit, that they were more than ok with just taking that money. Oh and last video, for now. |

Wow! That was fast too, although I'm sure it didn't seem fast to you. I ordered my Rapid Blue SS 1LE on December 10, 2021 and still don't have an allocation.

Thanks! Have you tried to place your order with the largest Chevy dealership in your area? I placed my order with one of the larger dealerships here, and I believe that's what helped me get my allocation (I know this dealership is a little sketchy, but given that GM may want to reward volume dealerships, I figured I'd reach out to them again). Also, the 1LE was constrained around the time I placed my order so I avoided it. Last question, I was on the fence about the sunroof on my order, but was told that the sunroof would change the lines on the roof. When I look at my rooflines, I'm actually glad that I went away from the sunroof. Good luck with your order! And yes, I'm totally enamored with the car thus far. Only about a week and I have already logged 200 miles on it. I need to hide the keys.

Now I've got to call my local dealer and cancel my original order. I'm sure I will be like you when I finally get mine. I can't wait to drive it.

Just came across this thread. Good for you that you made the decision to get the Camaro while you still can and enjoy rowing thru the gears The sensation may go dormant but it never gets old. Disturbing the peace since my brand new ‘66 GTO and I just started my 74th lap around the big track Thanks be to God. Oh yea just got cammed too I noticed there’s no badging on the front fenders Must be a ZL1 thing as even the Z/28 have them.
ps - maybe you can buy back your SS in a few years and turn it into a low-rider |

I mentioned to another board member that I've already stalled it once, as I try to feather the throttle and the clutch so that I'm not trying to make every take-off sound like I'm bringing down "Thor's Hammer". There's something to be said about showing some restraint in the Camaro (mostly "No I'm not some kid whose parents bought him a new Camaro"). |
